The BEST All-Night Restaurant In New Jersey

New Jersey's BEST 24-Hour Diner For Late-Night Treats is among the BEST in America! According to a new report from Tasting Table, "Truck drivers, night shift workers, and chronic late-night road trippers have probably felt the effects of the unfortunate decline of the 24-hour restaurant since the coronavirus pandemic hit in 2020. In fact, citing data collected via Yelp, The Food Institute reported in 2024 that the amount of 24/7 restaurants in the United States had dropped by a whopping 18%, with the percentage being even higher in some metropolitan areas like Los Angeles."

We all have had those times when we needed to find a good all-night eatery, a place that was open after a late night out or traveling and you just needed to find a good meal after hours. This list we have is not only good for right here in New Jersey, but all over the country if you are gonna be traveling and need a good cup of coffee and a burger maybe.

 

 

Here in New Jersey, the restaurant selected as the best 24-hour stop is located in Bergen County in Hackensack. The Chit Chat Diner was chosen as the best 24/7 stop for great food in the Garden State.

 

According to Tasting Table, "New Jersey's Chit Chat Diner has locations in both West Orange and Hackensack, but only the latter is open 24 hours. So, double check your location before heading over to the restaurant in the early morning hours. Photos on the diner's website menu make all the food look simply delectable, and though reviewers mention that the place is packed on weekends, locals find themselves making repeat visits for the yummy food options."
